Smitten with Mountain Ash


this week i planted my first biggish tree, nearly
three times the height of a shovel:


It is so beautiful!
Birds love their berries,
I sense it will bring joy 
to watch it grow over the years.


sun ignighting
illuminating

the marvels of life


held within leaves
rising from the heart of a tree


yes, I am smitten


European Mountain Ash
aka
Rowan Tree

FIreweed Gone to Seed


a forest of autumn leaves
as a colorful backdrop


pods burst
seeds take flight


holding life
within each fairy-like light


thrilled 
with the design
the dance


of each 
every plant

promises
of next springs new life

September changes it's Cloak


September changes it's Cloak


still a mix of greens and golds


accented with the bone white of aspen trunks
and 
ankle high 
amber brush


 creek walking
offers a myriad of fallen leaves


shades of green 
to find delight in

nest of puffballs
held in a green embrace

Autumn brings new wonders

Welcome Autumn ~



recently i left Montana for 9 days
it was summer
upon return 
i found our world cloaked in autumn


snap snap
just like that
a new season


welcome
autumn colors


a new season 
to take to heart


roads beckoning
as they don new colors


may autumn bless
your days
and 
nights
